🌟🌟🌟Howard Marks does not sound alarm bells often but when he does, it is worth listening to.  His recent memo is a quiet nudge to step back and reassess - not because the Magnificent 7 are wildly overvalued, but because the broader S&P500 is starting to look stretched.

I have invested in $Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLP)$ as a tactical hedge as Consumer Staples do not dazzle but they endure.

I have also continued with my investment in $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$ to give me  broad exposure to the US market.

Investing is not just about numbers.   It is also about protecting what matters and staying grounded.

I am not chasing the next headline.  I am building a portfolio that lasts beyond one cycle.

Market Master 101 | Howard: Where Do We Stand in 2025?
In his recent memo to Oaktree’s clients, Howard Marks outlined his views on the current high levels of the market. He believes the market has not yet entered a phase of irrational exuberance, but still advises clients to adopt a Level 5 defense (reducing aggressive positions and increasing defensive holdings). What do you think of his views on the valuations of the Magnificent 7 and the S&P 500? How is your own portfolio allocated right now? Since the market is at elevated levels, should we be holding some defensive assets?
